So until i faced this a few minutes ago i always though of yi as nothing but annoying and not to hard to burst with CC.. after facing this with veigar and him only have GA or spirit visage when it was down i realized it was retarded and severely broken.. Yi's build was sated devourer/sterak's gage/ dead mans plate/titanic hydra/botrk/ and either spirit visage or GA.. i was playing veigar sitting near 1k AP (ended up building randuins and TM to deal with him) and at full burst using ult my damage output was +/- 3k against none AP champions.. yi wasnt using his heal and i would combo stunned right after alpha strike and i was not even doing hardly any damage to him at with sterak's pop it was only doing 50% of his HP.. there is seriously something wrong with the damage output/tankiness of the items when you factor both together and what a champion like yi is capable of doing with them..

Its not just Yi man, its the majority of devourer users. And because these champions dont have insane winrates and the item takes 20 minutes on average to actually be useful.. It probably won't get any significant changes or nerfs.. Think about it... Shyvana XinZhao Jax Fizz and perhaps Udyr Kayle (although ranged devourer did get nerfed idk how well this is anymore) are all capable of doing stupid amounts of damage and not dying... another HUGE part of devourer being so strong is the synergy with item 3153

its not the sated damage output in itself its the inability to kill him with the new juggernaut items on top of the damage output lol..putting out that damage while surviving through a 3.5k burst from 1 person not counting what other people are hitting him with is just insanely unbalanced atm

ok maybe i wasnt clear the balancing has nothing to do with yi and devourer.. if you find yi pre juggernaut items he did massive damage but in a group fight was worthless b/c 1 good hard CC and your team explodes him.. he honestly functioned more like an assassin unless your team has little to no cc.. the point is with the new "juggernaut" updates and the release of items like seraks gage and deadman's plate titantic hydra not only does stupid amounts of damage but you nearly have to chain CC him for a good 3-4 seconds or more if you stand any chance of killing him.. to put this in perspective even though i did 3.5k burst damage with veigar i only had my E to stun him and with steraks i stood no chance of killing him alone.. Vayne nautilius together with all of the CC they could muster with nautilius Q R and auto plus condemn into wall still could not bring him down.. its not that devourer itself is still broken its that the "juggernaut" items are more or less of balance...
